Elsa and Fred

I seem to have found my way to the Argentine movies, here is another jewel. Elsa and Fred. It is the story of Elsa, a woman in her late 70s, who talks too much, lies all the time but most importantly, has the spirit of a teenager. She does all she can to seduce her new neighbor….

She is a woman about to die, he is a man afraid to live. Complete opposites, but they seem to match. Hilarious situations, a great movie!

Directed by Marcos Carnevale, with Manuel Alexandre and China Zorilla as Fred and Elsa.
